Honey-Glazed Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

This honey-glazed ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy is my go-to approach for making pre-cooked hams, just like I have many times before. You’re not really cooking the ham, you’re just heating it and adding more flavor by adding a glaze. You can use the glaze that comes with your ham (if it includes one) but I prefer to make my own, being able to make it more for my tastes. Plus, that bag of frozen glaze kind of …. scares me.

Honey-Glazed Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy

This honey-glazed ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy could not get any easier. It’s why I load up on those cheap spiral hams whenever I can. We can get a number of meals out of a single ham, from sandwiches to omeletes.

I used a smoked spiral-sliced ham for my honey-glazed ham. You can also use a whole ham, sliced or not. But you must use one that is pre-cooked. If it’s not sliced you’ll want to score it first with a knife so that the glaze adheres to the ham. If you don’t it will just roll right on off into the bottom of the foil pouch and just sit there doing nothing, not adding flavor or anything to your ham.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 pound spiral sliced cooked ham bone-in

For the glaze

Instructions

  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Remove the ham from the packaging and place on a large piece of foil. Place it like you would in the Big Easy basket. Larger hams will have to be stood on edge.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour or brush HALF of the glaze over the ham, getting some of the glaze in between the ham slices. Keep the remaining glaze warm over low heat.
  • Seal tightly in the foil, leaving the seam at the top. Transfer to the Big Easy and cook (heat) for approximately 10 minutes per pound or until the ham reaches 145 F as tested in several places.
  • Remove the basket from the Big Easy. Carefully remove the ham to a cutting board and brush with the remaining glaze. Cover with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.

I’m a big fan of cooking honey-chipotle glazed ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy. The ham gets a nice roasted flavor, a bit of a crispy outside, and a super-moist inside. This time I started with a 10 pound pressed ham, which I scored (a technique I need to practice) and then glazed as it cooked. No mess, no fuss, and mighty darned good in the end. The glaze has a bit of sweet and a definite kick to it. Chipotles not only add spiciness, they add a bit of smokiness, giving the ham an almost char-grilled flavor. Fantastic!

Some of the ham I sliced thick, to eat as ham steaks. Some I chopped for omelets. And most I sliced super-thin for fantastic sandwiches. Honey-Chipotle Glazed Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy leaves you with a bunch of ham, so you can cut it and serve it several different ways1

This spiral ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy turned out to be one of the easiest heat-and-eat dishes I’ve ever made. I grabbed a pre-cooked ham on sale at the market, removed it from the bag and put it into the lit cooker. That’s it. I didn’t marinade it, glaze it, talk to it, rub it… nothing. The end result was unbelievably tasty. Still moist and tender, with just a bit of (really yummy) char on the edges. I would (and will) make this again and again. It’s perfect for a crowd and of course, doesn’t take up any room in the oven, making it perfect for a family get-together.

Spiral Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Since this was my first time ‘cooking’ a ham on my Big Easy, I did stick my Maverick thermometer into the end (not touching the bone) to make sure the ham got to 145 F. The ham rose another 10 degrees after removing it from the fryer and resting. The ham needed 10 minutes per pound to reach the proper temperature.

Spiral Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I did contemplate glazing the ham the last 10 minutes, but I decided against it. My Big Easy was running around 385-390 F, and the ham was already getting a nice char on it. A glaze (particularly one with brown sugar in it) would definitely turn the ham even blacker, so I skipped it. Turns out I didn’t need it at all. From sandwiches, to omlettes, to quesadillas, this ham was great! You can also cook pressed hams just as easily on the Big Easy.
